Starting against Lille, Nemanja Matic left the captain's armband to Alexandre Lacazette. However, the Serbian OL midfielder wore a black armband, in tribute to the victims of Novi Sad in Serbia.
He shared his sadness on his social networks during the day. On November 1, the city of Novi Sad was hit by a terrible tragedy that left at least 14 victims. Recently renovated, the roof of the station in the Serbian town collapsed, causing many deaths. Nemanja Matic chose to pay tribute to them on its networks, but also on the occasion of the tripOL has Lille (1-1). This did not escape anyone, the former Manchester United wore a black armband around his arm. A request from Matic to honor the memory of those who died in the northern Serbian city.
Captain vs. Auxerre in the absence of Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso at kick-off, Nemanja Matic returned his Lyon armband for another much less joyous one, Friday evening in the north of France. He would certainly have liked to end this tribute with a victory or a goal. He didn't get far in the 74th minute with a header at the near post, saved by Lucas Chevalier.
